Thanks much dude

Mine is also Red Orange Metallic, pontiac called it red orange metallic, Chevy (camaro) called it Cayenne red. Cayenne red sounds cooler so that's what I call mine lol.
Also I did a nice paint correction which turned the color a bit.

Ya, imo your trap speeds are nothing to worry about. Imo a catback does nothing. The stock exhaust is trash from the manifolds back and when you see where the first catalytic converter is on the passenger side you will understand lol. So imo a cat back does nothing but a tit of sound.

Get some long tubes on there, 30+ whp, a tune and a nice converter and that thing will rip

Yeah ive got a set of texas speed 1 3/4 lts and 3 in. ory to go on there. Im going to get them installed pretty soon along with tune, torque mgt. deleted, ported stock throttle body with bump stop mod, prothane poly motor mounts, 160 thermostat with fan settings changed and elite engineering catch can. The tune will be a good street tune. Maybe she will wake up after these mods. I sure hope so. Then maybe later either a yank ss3200 or ss3600. Ive got plenty of time to make my mind up between the two converter choices. Might say screw it and get the 3600 one day. I want my car to throw me back in my seat when I nail it from a stop lol. Thanks for replying back dude.

Any idea what the d.a was?

I trapped 101 mph in my 100% bone stock 2.73 A4 car in around 2300-2500 ft da.

I used to run consistent 105.5-ish MPH in ~1000 DA when I had just a lid/catback on my '00 A4 WS6. That was pretty typical in the early 2000s when these cars were still new and fresh, and where the OP should likely be with his RWHP and listed DA if everything with the car is optimal IMO. I never took note of headwinds though. Perhaps he's letting off a touch early? Maybe fuel pressure is a bit low at high rpm under load? That wouldn't always show up on a dyno test, as loaded road conditions are a bit different. How many miles on the car? Stock fuel pump?

I disagree about a catback doing "nothing". That depends on the catback, better flowing ones (such as SLP dual/dual, listed by the OP) are usually within about 2-3hp of a cutout, and a cutout can be worth as much as ~10rwhp. Air lid & catback combo should be good for 1-1.5mph, in my experience. So if you subtract that from his 103.4mph, that's only 102mph for a bone stock car. That's a bit on the slow side for an '02 WS6 (mandatory 3.23 w/MX0 & WS6), even with the A4.

There might not be anything wrong, some are quicker than others and race weight will vary based on everything from fuel in the tank to weight of the driver, but I'd do some basic checks to rule out any issues with fuel pressure under load, TB reaching full WOT, general maintenance items and making sure not to let off early at the end of a run. Maybe everything is fine, or maybe there is still 1-2mph left on the table.

I don't know how much the car weighs. I just know that I weigh 180lbs and the car had a full tank of gas at the track. Nothing has been removed from car. I ran it with the spare tire and jack still in it. Its just like it come off the showroom. I am going to get my stock throttle body ported with the bump stop mod when it get my lts and ory installed soon. I guess my mechanic would be able to tell if its reaching full wot. He is gonna do a good street tune for the headers and ory. I am taking to it Spartan lsx performance around Atlanta, Ga. His name is Damian on here. He knows his stuff.

I found this calculator for determining DA (Density Altitude). You can then enter your
ET/Trap-Speed at that DA and see what it would be in SAE ideal conditions (Sea level, 29.2 pressure, 59F, 0 humidity).

http://www.dragtimes.com/da-density-...calculator.php

For example, going from 55F to 90F gives a DA equivalent of 2800 feet higher altitude.

Yes, Damian will definitely get you set up. It will feel like a whole new car. Then when you add the converter, your car will definitely not be throwing you back in your seat when you go WOT from a stop, because you will be sitting still incinerating the tires

Is that a good thing?
